Liz Murray sometimes spent the night in a Bronx diner, napping on the table. Her story is now a TV movie on Lifetime.

NEW YORK (AP) -- When Liz Murray didn't have a bed, she and a friend would sometimes go to a diner in the Bronx, pool their change to buy french fries with gravy and cheese, and take naps with their heads resting on the table.

Since then, the 22-year-old has been to Harvard University and back again in a real-life story of willpower and determination that has inspired a television movie.

When "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story" premieres on Lifetime Television on Monday at 9 p.m. EDT, Murray wants viewers to come away with the notion that changing your life is "as simple as making a decision."

I kind of wanted to see that, but knew DH wouldn't really be interested so we chose something we BOTH wanted to watch together instead.

I saw it last night!!!!! It was truly an amazing story. What courage, and determination she had was amazing. And not only that, but that glimmer of hope that there could be a better way.... and she found it. I loved the fact that they showed the real Liz after the movie.
